If any of you know me personally then you know that I love music. Since I was a child I have had a fascination with music. Some remember the first baseball glove they bought, first bike, I remember the first album that I bought and called my own, Petra's "Back to the Streets". My favorite experience is when you here a fresh song that you have never heard before. That is why I am starting a weekly post that will be devoted to this passion of mine and introduce you to new music that has hit and my review of it or a new video that has hit YouTube. This week I will do both.
My Taste in Music: I know you've probably heard this before but there is not one genre of music that I dislike. This is not to say there are not bands I would rather not listen to but I can almost always find a band in any genre that I can appreciate. This being said, if you don't like the style of music featured this week check back next week and you might see something you do like.
NEW ALBUM
There is a new band that has spent most of the last few years working to make other bands sound better. This band is none other than Capital Kings and their brand new self titled album hit shelves today. I have to say, they have out-shined my expectations. Tobymac put out a video to introduce their album and frankly when I saw it I was skeptical that the twosome could put out an entire album of original material because for the past few years they have just put their own spin on other artist's work. Well now that I have heard the album I have to say I was wrong in being skeptical because they put out an album that was not only fun but also a great album to drive to, work out to, or dance to. Their sound is electronic-dance so be ready for some awesome mixes but I was happy to see that unlike their main backer, Tobymac, they did not remix their own music to add tracts. "The Paradigm" featuring Soul Glow Activatur of Family Force 5 has gotta be my favorite just because of its unique sound and its message of leading the way as the next generation. I was also glad to see that the artists that have benefited from their superb remixes, Britt Nicole and Tobymac, lent their talents to this album. The last and best part of this new release is that it is only $5.99 for the MP3 album and digital booklet on Amazon, awesome deal for ten brand new songs that now show us that Capital Kings is not just about the remixes anymore.
NEW VIDEO
Britt Nicole: Home
Britt Nicole is mostly known for her pop hits such as Gold, Headphones, etc. but this shows a little of her acoustic side with only a guitar and percussionist. The sound of this song is amazing having an old southern folk sound to it. As a southerner I felt myself transported back home and hearing music like this echoing from the old church house.
Hope everyone enjoyed this entry and I look forward to continue sharing what I love...music.
